Pharm II Adrenal Disorders Exam
1. which glucocorticoid is made by the adrenal gland s: cortisol
2. which drug is equivalent to cortisol: hydrocortisone
3. which mineralocorticoid is made by the adrenal glands: aldosterone
4. catecholamines are made in the: medulla
5. glucocorticoids function: increase glucose levels by:
glujconeogenesis
oppose effect of insulin
protein metabolism
lipid metabolism
6. mineralocorticoid activity: regulation of salts
(reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium)
7. what enzyme helps with cortisol synthesis (steroid synthesis): 11-beta-hydroxylase
1/4
, 8. which ones are anti-inflammatory: glucocorticoids
9. which ones have aldosterone like effects: mineralocorticoids
10. which corticosteroid has only mineralocorticoid properties: fludrocortisone
11. Adverse effects of corticosteroids: CNS effects
cataracts (especially in peds)
glaucoma
oral candidiasis
hyrerphagia (increased appetite)
dysgeusia
dyssomnia
hypertension
hyperglycemia
LEUKOCYTOSIS
GI
water retention/edema
12. mnemonic to remember side effects of corticosteroids: Cushingoid
Cataracts
ulcers
